KM185?
« on: December 01, 2005, 03:54:04 PM »
Just curious why I've never seen anyone use the Neumann KM-185 for taping shows?  Keep thinking how I'd like to have a hyper option, and how pricy it is to get into the modular stuff. . .

a guy here in town has a pair that he uses when he needs hypers...and they are similar in characterstic to the KM150s...very thin and bright sounding

So I guess it's just a Neumann hypers in general thing then, huh?

Hmm, back to the drawing board :)  I love my 184's in a lot of situations, but there are lots of times I'd like to have hypers on me.

If I were going to pick up a set of Mics/Caps just to have hypers, I'd go 483's......

Just the SD mics.   The LD neumanns have the phatty bass.

I'm thinking of checking out a pair, I like the mk41's, but the 483's can make some smokin' recordings IMO.  I just want one of everything...   8) err a pair of everything...

Maybe a couple of small scratches, but thats because these mics are chick magnets.
Girls always up on Andy tryin to grab these mics, the scratches are from their wedding rings.

For what it is worth, I've enjoyed a number of km185 & km150 tapes- and the kn185s are *much* smaller that the AKGs.

Is it still gear slutting if you keep most of it?  I consider myself more of a gear polygamist.  ;)
